ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Metro Bus has announced its results for the 2025 Jolley Trolley Food Drive.

From Dec. 15-18, the Jolley Trolley Food Drive visited Lunds and Byerlys, Coborn’s in St. Cloud Cash Wise in Waite Park, and Coborn’s in Sauk Rapids to collect donations of non-perishable food items and cash.

This year, thanks to the generosity of countless individuals, collection totals were $3,038 and 9,211 pounds of non-perishables.

Over the past 15 years, the Jolley Trolley has distributed over 43 tons of non-perishable food items, and just under $40,000. In 2024, the food drive collected $1,851 and 9,766 pounds of food.

Thanks to these donations, Catholic Charities Emergency Services, Promise Neighborhood of Central MN and St. Cloud Area Salvation Army received plenty of food and will be able to purchase much-needed supplies this holiday season.
